'Boisterous behavior' leads to arrest

Monday

A woman was arrested Saturday at a traffic stop after she claimed she had ties to a gang, threatened to kill officers and had outstanding warrants, according to Shelby Police Department.

When Shelby Police Officer Hannah Moore came to assist another officer at a traffic stop near the intersection of East Marion Street and Cherryville Road over the weekend, she immediately noticed “a loud, vulgar and overbearing woman in the front seat of the black Camaro,” read the report.

The report states that the woman cursed at the officer, rolled up her window and locked the doors.

According to police, the driver of the car agreed to let officers do a search and when Jamie Elizabeth Banner, 34, stepped out of the Camaro, “it was evident that she was under the influence of some impairing substance.”

Banner lives at the 900 block of North Post Road in Shelby.

After it was discovered that Banner had warrants, she was placed into custody.

During the arrest, Moore stated Banner was uncooperative, verbally abusive using “other variations of that same term of endearment,” and showed continuous “boisterous behavior.”

While in the back of the patrol car on the way to the Cleveland County jail, the woman told officers several times she had connections to the Blood gang and said, “I will kill you... You are all about to... die. You have no idea what I’m capable of,” according to the police report.

Banner had to be searched and fingerprinted by several officers because she was so uncooperative, according to police, and refused to walk on her own, stating that officers could drag her.

“Drag her we did,” the report read. “With her legs straight out in front of her, in a very toddler like fashion.”
